Career

2019–2021: Beginning of career and notability

In 2019, Pipokinha moved from Tubarão to São Paulo without having a house to live in. The singer used to sleep in the homes of acquaintances or in bars and tobacco shops, when she didn't have her own house to sleep in yet. With only a cell phone and borrowed clothes, she got to know people related to funk. In this sense, she later got to act as a dancer in funk music videos, but still without singing any songs. The artist was then invited to participate in a YouTube channel with fictional stories on the favelas of São Paulo. It was on this channel that she idealized MC Pipokinha as a character. Pipokinha soon stood out in the videos through the figure of a seductive girl who resembles those in popular humor shows.[5] In 2020, MC Pipokinha started her musical career, quickly achieving great repercussion from the public. She gained prominence in the music scene for singing daring lyrics and aggressive vocals to the sound of the popping beats of funk ousadia.[6][7]

The artist said that she joined the platform during the COVID-19 pandemic and that it have improved her life.[13][14]

Personal life

During an interview for the g1 portal, Pipokinha said she was the adopted daughter of a Mormon family, a Christian group that emerged in the United States. Pipokinha says that her mother only let religious music play in the house. The family had to pray several times a day and, at night, read the sacred scriptures, the Book of Mormon.[5]

Photos of Pipokinha pregnant at 16 years old emerged, and soon the information was confirmed that the singer have had a daughter by sources close to her.[15] The little that is known about the child is that she lives with her grandparents in the interior of Santa Catarina, that her mother visits her frequently, and that she is the result of a relationship between the singer and her boyfriend at the time.[16]
